WOMEN VERSUS ROMAN EMPIRE torrent

In this planet , the history of women´s rise to dignity starts in

Europe , and in Europe the root to investigate is twofold:

the roman catholic church and her "father" , the roman empire.


It all started when so many roman aristocratic warriors died far away from

the Urbs. Then it was decided that women could ... inherit. Then , the inner

logic of roman law made it necessary to declare them CITIZENS...


The book explains this very strange roman trajectory , unique in the ancient

world and culminated in Paris , about 1789 (at least on paper).
